Deployment agent that allows us to deploy out to various other servers but doesn't provide build automation
I would rate this solution as six out of ten. There isn't a big learning curve. It's a very straightforward and simple tool. It can be used anywhere to deploy your code or to configure files. I would recommend it, but there are already better tools in the market. We feel that it's probably not the best tool available, even though we have used it for quite some time. The automation with the REST APIs and other types of APIs isn't that great. There are some things you need to do manually to set up the tool. Other tools provide things you can do automatically through APIs. Inedo BuildMaster is a good tool if you want to have some deployments in your company. The problem is that it's a very limited tool and needs some additional features, like an approval based process for REST APIs. It only works for deployment-related things. These days, tools like Jenkins and DevOps are coming up with build automation. Because Inedo BuildMaster is a deployment-centered tool, you'll need to use a different tool for build automation, which makes it less likely to be used. If they work on that aspect, the solution would be better.

Has a community of plugin providers but needs improvement in Kubernetes integration
Integrating Jenkins with other tools or solutions has presented some challenges. For instance, when attempting to integrate Jenkins with Kubernetes, I encountered numerous errors, which took several days to resolve. In Jenkins, adding a feature typically involves incorporating the repository feature separately. Jenkins lacks built-in Git repository functionality, necessitating an external Git repository to store Jenkins manifests. In contrast, GitLab offers an integrated Git repository and pipeline runner, streamlining the process. One improvement for Jenkins could be integrating a Git server, simplifying the management of CI/CD pipelines. Currently, with Jenkins, modifying pipeline manifests requires navigating to a separate Git repository. In GitLab, however, manifest changes can be made directly within the repository.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Technical support is quick to respond. I haven't had any issues with them."
"It offers continuous deployment and continuous testing. It enables us to figure out anything."
"There are a large number of plugins available for integration with third party systems."
"We've achieved continuous integration and delivery on all our commits, securing the quality of all of our products on their main branches."
"The most valuable features of Jenkins are the ease of use and the information about how to use the features is readily available on the internet."
"A lot of support material exists via a single web search of exactly what you're looking for."
"I like that you can find a wide range of plugins for Jenkins."
"The most valuable features are Jenkins Pipelines for ALM and full Deploy Cycle."

Cons

"The documentation should be better. It should be very easy to call REST APIs, and the documentation has to be perfect for that."
"UI is quite outdated."
"Jenkins is not an easy solution to use and the configuration is not simple."
"The learning curve is quite steep at the moment."
"I think the logs could be improved so that anyone using the build for the first time gets a better view as to how it's performing, what the data is, and what processing is occurring."
"The user interface could be updated a little."
"It would be better if there were an option to remove its Java dependency. This would make it more compatible with other software, and it could be much better."
"I would like to see even more integrations included in the next release."
"The user interface could be updated a little."

I generally find TeamCity a lot more intuitive than Jenkins.
Moving to TeamCity from Jenkins At work, we’re slowly migrating from Jenkins to TeamCity in the hope of ending some of our recurring problems with continuous integration. My use of Jenkins prior to this job has been almost strictly on a personal basis, although I pretty much only use Travis…
